Ted, > If laissez-faire had nothing to do with it, why wasn't Madoff investigated? Why was the uptick rule re. the stock market, something that FDR put in place decades ago to stop naked shorting, suspended 4 years ago.

So had we stopped naked shorting, Madoff wouldn't have been able to put together his Ponzi scheme?

It's silly to blame every Wall Street criminal on the right.
